DATE: Regency Period, c.1810

An incredible gold pansy brooch dating from the Georgian Regency period, circa 1810. It's beautifully constructed from cut-out sheets of rose and yellow gold, and featuring fine filigree work around the outer petals. In this instance the pansy is a rebus for "think of me", from the French pensée meaning thought. It's crafted in 15 karat gold and remains in excellent antique condition.
